Your solution is so elegant. Thank you!

You may call me Karona. Thank you for asking. :)

Thank you!

I can get the code that follows to run, but the chatbot never replies. I
surmise this is because lists are not mutable.

With the background I have the most obvious way forward would be to use an
array instead of a list, but that does not strike me as the best approach
to take while trying to learn functional programming.

Is there a better way through this?

;example.rkt

#lang racket

(require racket/match)

(struct message (str sender recipient))

(define chat-history (list (message "" "" "")))

(define (say m)
  (cons m chat-history))

(define (log m)
  (cons m chat-history))

(let loop ()
  (display "Input: ")
  (define input (message (read-line (current-input-port) 'any)
"participant" "me"))
  (define str (message-str input))
  (log input)

  (cond

[(regexp-match #px"(?i:Hello,* world!)" str)
 (say (message "I would not know about the rest of the world, but I can
hear \
you just fine." "me" "participant"))]

[(regexp-match #px"(?i:I( am|'m) learning how to program in Racket,*
world!)" str)
 (say (message "Racket is a great language, and it is lovely that you
are \
learning it, but does literally everyone need to know?" "me"
"participant"))]

[(regexp-match #px".*,+\\s*world!" str)
 (say (message "Did the whole world really need to hear that?" "me"
"participant"))]

[else (say (message "Did you really just say something without
addressing the \
world? I am so proud of you! :,)" "me" "participant"))])

  (define head (first chat-history))
  (define response (message-str head))
  (printf "Chatbot: ~a\n" response)
  (loop))

Hi everyone,

After trying to implement some changes Sage suggested (all errors are my 
own), I am now encountering the following message (courtesy of DrRacket):

"head: unbound identifier in: head"

Could someone help me find a fix?

As before, I welcome suggestions on how to better do this the functional 
programming way.

[racket-users] Questions Regarding My First Program

2021-02-23 Thread IF Karona
Hi everyone,

I am new here, and I have a couple of questions related to the code that 
follows this message.

1. I want to learn functional programming. When it comes to solving the 
problem of making a simple chatbot such as this, is there an approach that 
is more consistent with functional programming?
2. I would prefer to not have to use multiple spaces every time I want to 
indent. Does Dr. Racket have anything comparable to the tab functionality 
of other programs?

Thank you for letting me join your community!
